Description

A square and yellow button with the quote, 'If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom yet renounce controversy are people who want crops without ploughing the ground.' The button attributes this to Frederick Douglass, 1917-1895 with a small photograph of him beside it.
